Caroling "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"

Tis'the Season... to sing...so we went caroling to a few of our neighbors. Santa especially loved our singing.

We started off at Sister Allen's house putting some delicious treats together made by Amelia "our chef".

"Love is in the air"

We had a great time singing to the families and we think they enjoyed it to. We had a little trouble remembering some of the words on some songs so there was a lot of la la las.

Santa, Santa, everywhere!

We ended the night with yummy hot chocolate again at Sister Allen's house. We hope that all the Young Women felt the spirit that was brought to our neighbor's homes.
Merry Christmas ! We love all of you! We pray that you are happy, healthy and you remember that you are a daughter of a Heavenly Father who loves you.

For Standards Night "09 we had a "Bulletproof Ball" . We want our youth to Put on the Armor of God and not let the things of the world damage their spirits. It started off with the girls helping each other get even more beautiful...if that is possible.

Next, we learned a few rules of etiquette and had a delicious dinner made by the Vallen's and served by the Bishopric and the YM leaders. It was so nice and we appreciate all the help.

The night progressed and Nicole, Josh, Courtney, and Daniel taught the Youth and a few leaders how to Waltz. They worked hard to learn the dance and teach it to us as well as passing off a Personal Progress Value Project. It was really fun and they were beautiful in their ball gowns .

There was a lot of pondering involved when Cougar Hall came and talked to the Youth about putting on The Armor of God and what that means. He taught us what each piece of our armor is needed for and that we are armored heavily in front so that we will take problems head on . We learned that we all need stay close to our Heavenly Father and what it is He wants from each of us. We need to stay on the path towards Him and not take one step in the other direction. He did a great job once again and we all felt the spirit as he taught us.

"Our Beautiful Princesses"

"Our Handsome Princes"

We have a great group of Youth and we are so honored to be able to serve them. We want the best for all of them and hope that they will remember who they are...that they are so special and children of a Heavenly Father who loves them and is always there to listen and help them with anything...they just need to reach out to Him!

Modesty Night

The Beehives went to the mall and picked out modest outfits. It was so great to see almost ALL the girls there (we missed you Nicole). Maybe we should do this again sometime. What do you think girls?

I'll take that as a yes!!

They were so cute!!!

Sarah

Mannequin, I mean Daylin.

I don't think there was any doubt that they all had a lot of fun! Just take a look for yourself...

Of course, they said I had to try SOMETHING on, so I did.

Girls Camp in July

Here are a few of the girls preparing for and presenting their skits at Girls Camp. It looks to me like they had fun.

Youth Conference 09 was really fun and we appreciate all the time that was put in by the Bishopric to arrange it for us. It started off at Uncle Howard's House in Morgan. It was a crazy road to get there but we made it safe and sound. Dinner was prepared by the Norman's and was great as usual. Sis. Norman's cookies were a hit!

We ate and ate and then played and talked for a couple of hours.












We had a fireside that we talked about pioneers in our families and we all had a chance to share our history.
Erika and Lexi win the least amount of sleep award, although I think Sister Allen was close behind making sure all the girls were in thier tents! The next morning we at breakfast and headed to Immigration Canyon to see where the Pioneers first entered the valley.

From there we went to "This is The Place" and learned more about what the Pioneers went to to get to Salt Lake City. The next stop was a hike up Ensign Peak.









SOME OF US WERE A LITTLE MORE TIRED THAN OTHERS!



After the BIG hike, the Bishopric treated us to CROWN BURGER!!! YUM! We then had a pix scavenger hunt at the Salt Lake City Cemetary where we looked for the graves of former Prophets which began at the prophet we all loved dearly, President Hinckley. The spirit there was very strong.
Our final stop was Ice Cream at Baskin Robbins . We had a great time and thank you to all who helped and to all the Youth who were so great. We especially love our girls and we so glad they all could come!
